I guess I completely missed the concept. I was thinking that the gentree.py command would only port and adjust the delta between linux-next and the version I wanted. Looks like the backport is really an add-on that will apply to multiple versions. Not sure I understand how successive changes in the tree are handled if there is a single backport.
